Folks- Trying to build a 'lightweight' DB2 client on HPUX 11.32 with perl 5.8.8, with IBM z-series linux as the server. I have the client libs in /opt/IBM/db2/V9.1, and have the DB2_HOME var set to this directory, and DBD::DB2 builds and installs correctly. I have not installed a new user or an 'instance' on the client side. A simple test script produces the dreaded "Failed: Total Environment allocation failure! Did you set up your DB2 client environment?"
Does DB2 really require a new account and copy of these files be made as an 'instance', even though I don't want a db installed on the localhost, and am connecting to the remote without cataloging? Any experience welcomed. allan -- "The truth is an offense, but not a sin"
